Rs. 9,990
Rs. 10,000
Rs. 10,590
Rs. 11,250

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal amount = Rs.22,800

Interest rate = 12.5%

After first year, interest = Rs.2850

So, principal = 22800 + 2850 - 8650 = Rs.17000

After second year, interest = 12.5% of Rs.17,000 = Rs.2125

So, principal = 17000 + 2125 - 9125 = Rs. 10,000

After third year, interest = 12.5% of Rs.10,000 = Rs.1250

Amount to be paid too clear the debt = 10000 + 1250 = Rs.11,250

Answer 2

Hence ₹11,250 need to be paid to clear the debt at the end of the third year..
